Subject: RE: BS: reasons Liberals fail
Amos,

For all your extensive commentary about conservatives here, you do not address the point of the articles I mention in the first post, which imply that, even to other "liberals" the present bunch of people claiming that title are NOT acting as you say they should.

"Liberalness, in its essence, is a matter of respecting the freedoms of others; it comes, after all, from the word liber which (contrary to some cherished right-wing fantasies) does not come from the Latin word for a dull tome, but from the Latin word for free. "


So, can you tell us why the "liberals" being discussed are NOT respecting the freedoms of others, instead of turning this into a diatribe against the present "conservative" administration?
